When told that “gun control can’t work because guns are available in other states”… I have never received an answer as to “what state heroin, fentynal, cocaine, meth are legal in?”.
There may be a good answer, I’m not necessarily seeking it here. I just debate why blaming the gun is so important to a political ideology when blaming the shooter seems only selectively important.
Seems like a wedge issue that everyone is happy to maintain just to keep it for distraction.
- allturtles 5y agoThe answer is straightforward, it's "no state." (Well, Fentanyl is legal by prescription.) I'm guessing there's some point you're trying to make with that question, but I'm not sure what it is. I don't think anyone 'blames' guns, they aren't moral agents. But they are extremely easy-to-use and effective ways of killing people.
- cwmma 5y agococaine is also technically legal by prescription as well
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoThe point is that prohibition has never worked. It creates a black market that borders and distances do not solve. It always goes back to talismanism. The gun itself is the problem, not the shooter. This is fake and the real reasons are always just one thing, control. The poor attempt at renaming gun control to gun safety is illustrated that not one “gun safety” group has ever put on a gun safety program. They all push for prohibition in one way or another.
